Hello list,

I have worked with Boost on my projects but haven't really thought of using
C++ as a language for NLP.

The NLP that I have done is on Python and Java, for their built-in string
methods.

I don't know if this is inexperience or ignorance, but does C++ work well
for NLP?

I was thinking of having a GSoC project that is devoted to provide support
for NLP. I mean like the kind that looks real easy on python.

Also, I was looking at some C++ code using Boost/tokenizer.hpp that
tokenized some text and it looked a bit scary.

Any suggestions or advice?
